Selling Your Fort Lauderdale Home Or Fort Lauderdale Condos -Is YOUR Fort Lauderdale Realtor Ethical?
April 19, 2008
When selling Your Fort Lauderdale Homes Or Fort Lauderdale Condos, do you know if your Fort Lauderdale Realtor is considered ethical by other Fort Lauderdale Realtors?
Who are you hiring-do you ever really know for sure?
What if you hire the WRONG Realtor?
Seller situation:
You have listed your Downtown Fort Lauderdale Home or Fort Lauderdale Beach High Rise Condo with the most popular agent on Fort Lauderdale Beach. He has a proven history of selling high rise waterfront condos in both Fort Lauderdale Beach and in Downtown Fort Lauderdale, and often will bring the buyer to the deal as well. This is called dual agency. This is when the same agent represents both the buyer and the seller.
So, that means he is really good at what he does. It appears so doesn’t it?? After all, how many other Fort Lauderdale Realtors are able to bring as many buyers to their own listings? If he is successful, somebody is getting a discount on the commission. Sounds good, doesnt it?
Ever wonder where he is getting those buyers?
Ever wonder why you have so few showings by other Fort Lauderdale Realtors?
Do you think it is just because of the current state of the market? Think again!
Don’t you wonder why so many similar listings are expiring, or are being withdrawn from the market due to little or no activity?
How many times do you think another Fort Lauderdale Realtor will show that agents listings when attempts are constantly made to steal their clients?
If he really had that many buyers wouldnt he be showing and selling the Fort Lauderdale Beach High Rise waterfront condos that others have listed as well? But, that is not happening!
Most of us in the business know each other. We compare notes. We warn each other about the unethical among our ranks. We hesitate in showing the Fort Lauderdale property listings of the unethical.
You, the Sellers, suffer because you lose valuable traffic. In most cases it is not the listing agent who brings the buyer to the table. It is usually another Fort Lauderdale Realtor.
When you hire an agent that other agents do not want to work with, you have a problem. In this market, this particular problem can be a very large problem.
If the Realtor is negotiating for both parties, does he have your very best interests at heart? How can you be sure?
So, do you still want to hire that popular Fort Lauderdale Beach High Rise Condo Agent?
Are you sure?
We, the other Fort Lauderdale Realtors, spend a great deal of time and money prospecting for Fort Lauderdale home buyers, this is our business, this is what we do for a living.
We spend many days, weeks and months working with these buyers, unpaid, looking for their perfect new Fort Lauderdale homes and condos.
The article you are currently reading is an example of how easily I can reach out to the general public/consumers and flex my substantial marketing muscle here in Fort Lauderdale.
You found this article, didn’t you? I reach Fort Lauderdale home buyers just as easily. Thousands of consumers visit this site daily. Some days we receive well over 5,000 visitors to this website.
That’s not chicken-feed folks! That’s a lot of potential buyers. Ask you current or prospective Fort Lauderdale Realtor how much traffic his website gets.
Imagine for a minute you were any of us. You have months of unpaid work into a client and this hotshot snakes the client.
Would YOU ever show one of his Fort Lauderdale High Rise Condos again?
